@ChristoPhipps is my hero – while i was taking the family on a little jaunt to a NorCal beach, he was out there Twittering the results live from SF! Exciting stuff…definitely a friend you want to have if you Twitter. Mary Ellen Ash proved she’s still got a killer sprint and took the Women’s...

As I write this, the punishment gluttons and #CalCup contenders should be pondering their Esparto results and recovering from Challenge RR. Here are my assumptions given that I live in an information vaccum (i have not set up a network of people to send me results yet) and it takes the folks at VeloPromo...

“Ben Jacques Maynes just wrote his ticket to Europe!” ~ Announcer Dave Towle during BJM’s second place finish at the Nevada City Classic. The following was translated from a Belgian/Dutch blog http://www.wielerflits.nl/, that follows all the pro cycling trade rumors. Stage and dialogue instructions have been added since Hernando wanted to re-enact some...

A couple of podiums and top...

I feel like Hernando’s off topic posts were kind of hit and miss. Not a fan of the political ones, mostly cause I can’t stand Naomi Klein – but i have a good long reason for that which you can ask me about next time you see me, but the more poetry type stuff...

I was driving my way down Foothill today and I saw two guys in Primal Wear jerseys standing by the side of the road. I figured it was a flat but when i got closer one guy was looking awkwardly in the distance while his skinnier partner puked his guts out on the side...

Subtitle: I had not idea this was so long – I’m like a freaking James Joyce! I imagine that in 1978, which predates my cycling infatuation by several years, it was generally impossible to follow what was happening in Le Tour. I assume it’s like waiting for CalCup results – where word of mouth...
